TORTOUR 250


The TORTOUR 250 is a complementary race format to the TORTOUR 1000 and TORTOUR 500 multi-day non-stop ultracycling events. The distance is at about 250 kilometers is significantly shorter and can only be driven unaccompanied. As a solo rider, it’s a pretty long individual time trial through the beautiful pre-alpine landscape and experiencing unforgettable emotions. However, since 250 kilometers alone and unaccompanied can be quite lonely, the TORTOUR 250 can also be ridden in teams of 2, 4 or 6. In this format, the teams always ride together.
